These wings are all about the seasoning. Unlike buffalo wings which are doused in a sauce, these wings are slathered in a combination of spices before being oven-baked.

ingredients
12 chicken wings, tips removed
5 bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more if desired
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the bay leaves, caraway seeds, cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, garlic, mustard, paprika, thyme, and salt in a food processor. Process until combined.
Add the brandy and lemon or lime juice. Process until it forms a smooth paste.
Brush the wings on all sides with the paste and place on a rimmed baking sheet (or in a large baking dish).
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the wings are browned and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, if desired.

A bit of work but worth the effort! Quite possibly the best wings I've ever had and I usually only like buffalo style wings not ones that are crisp like this. A new favorite around here!

These wings totally hit the spot! A flavorful and far healthier alternative to buffalo wings. I overbaked them a bit to get them to be extra crispy. If your family is anything like mine, go a head a prepare a double portion!

These wings are fantastic! The flavors are spicy, earthy, and citrusy all at the same time. A superior and gourmet recipe. We upped the cayenne a little bit and got them nice and cripsy over a hot grill, brushing the remaining marinade over them. Thanks!
